1. Use the JS GC for everything; eat the cost of eagerly creating all wrappers. As Boris mentioned, maybe this isn't so bad. I would assume this is what Oilpan is doing in Blink.
After talking to Terrence from the JS team, apparently with a month or two of hacking on SpiderMonkey we might be able to allocate Rust objects of 18 64-bit words or fewer into the JS heap directly. In other words, fuse the Rust structure with its wrapper. We could spill to the Rust heap from the wrapper if and only if the object is more than 18 words.
This would be similar to Blink's Oilpan project, but better because we can take advantage of the compiler to generate the trace hooks instead of having to manually write trace hooks and trace all the pointers.
